So you want to be a frogman, and think you have what it takes?

I think that's what they used to say in Navy SEAL training school. To paraphrase that in our context: so you wanna be a Real SD and think you have what it takes? Careful there. So many men have advertised that they are SD's, and that they want to 'keep' a woman, and pamper her, only to start scrutinizing the restaurant bill at Nobu when it shows up. So there is a fine line between an escort daddy, a john, and a real sugar daddy. I hear that from SB's all the time: many guys don't know what SD really means. And once they start finding out what the expectations really are, they start squirming, feeling uncomfortable, looking at their watch and trying to get our the hot seat.
1. If you can't part with your money because of philosophical or psychology reasons, don't be an SD, period.
2. Depending on your location, the monetary bar is pretty high, especially in a place like Manhattan or London. If I stretch my arms in any direction at work, good chances are I will smack a multimillionaire. To play the game in a place like this you need $$$. Maybe not so in Oklahoma, but here.....
3. So you need to be honest with yourself and save everyone's time. If you can't afford it don't go there. Just look at other SD's and SB's having fun and drool.
4. You have to think: It's only $$. By the time you have arrived at the average SD age group (40+) you hopefully earned and saved $$, and you can afford this lifestyle.
5. There will be a lot of pressure on you, prospective SD: you have to be loaded $$, you have to be generous, you also have to be hot and good in bed because no one likes a lousy lay, and you have to know some pretty good restaurants too! and the gifts...
And if you don't deliver, you will be teased and made fun of, by a woman in her 20's!
6. So being a real SD is a lot of work, and you thought your career and family were tough!
7. Why did I do it? I got scared by just reading what I just wrote. Good Lord!
